Third Step - Blood Lipid Panel Test

I have been drinking more than 64 oz (about 1.8 liters) of water for the last 2 days. I fasted last night and went in for my blood draw this morning. It took all of 5 minutes.

I will post my results when I get them. Anyway, here are some links about blood lipids. Link 1, Link 2 and Link 3. Approximately, Lipids are organic fats that are not soluble in water. They have a lots of important roles including energy storage and signaling. Once you understand the meaning, you will understand other words based on the Greek "lipos" (which means fat), like liposuction, Lipitor, lipectomy, lipemic...

Did you know there is a blog on lipids - here.
